Football pratice underway - notes

The most noteable thing is that Darius Parish has switched from DT to OG. He was in the 330 - 340 pound range last year and now is weighing 314.
This might actually be a really good switch for him, we'll have to wait and see, thankfully Kelting never wound up getting that jersey last year.

This switch (assuming there are no other switches) leaves the OL with better depth than it had a week ago, hopefully this move for Parish was going to happen regardless of the status of Lueken who is no longer with the squad.

Some other notes of interest -
Kerry Meier is still wearing the red jersey, that is reserved for QB's, but in the photos from KUAC he was seen catching balls not throwing them.

Tyrone Sellers, FR DE, looks a lot bigger than I thought he would. I still think he's going to be a RS but his ability to add weight will help the D-line down the line.

Travis Stephens, JR DT, from JUCO was late getting to campus this summer due to grades, but is eligible, on campus and at practice. He is billed as a quick DT in the mold of James McClinton and should offer some pressure from the gut.

Rell Lewis who had knee surgery following the Spring game has a brace on his knee but appears to be going at full speed.

Dezmon Briscoe participated in practice as you probable know, no one has said flat out that he made his grades but my guess is you wouldn't see him out there if he didn't.
